Beschreibung
Environmental stresses represent the most limiting
factors for agricultural productivity. Apart from biotic
stress caused by plant pathogens, there are a number
of abiotic stresses such as extremes in temperature,
drought, salinity, heavy metals and radiation which
all have detrimental effects on plant growth and yield.
However, certain plant species and ecotypes have
developed various mechanisms to adapt to such
stress conditions.
Recent advances in the understanding of these abiotic
stress responses provided the impetus for compiling
up-to-date reviews discussing all relevant topics in
abiotic stress signaling of plants in a single volume.
Topical reviews were prepared by selected experts and
contain an introduction, discussion of the state of art
and important future tasks of the particular fields.
